- 3:28The closing chapter examines China's denial and the implications for American chip export controls.
"I'm really hoping that the next CEO of the company is already at the company," Jensen Huang says in an archived Bloomberg interview. In a report about the investigations surrounding Nvidia, that succession question carries particular weight.
Bloomberg Television's "How a Chinese Espionage Probe Engulfed Nvidia" examines the corporate and FBI probes following Huang's admission of an affair. The report connects questions about possible foreign intelligence targeting to Nvidia's central role in AI hardware, and to a company closely identified with its chief executive.
It also makes an important distinction between an investigation and an established breach. Bloomberg News editor Alan Wong says: "The board is saying that there's no reason to believe that the company secrets have been compromised..." China's Foreign Ministry rejects the espionage allegation as unsubstantiated.
The report drew about 136,000 views in 14 hours, already far beyond Bloomberg Television's usual full first-day audience for regular videos.
Rather than staying with the personal disclosure, its later chapters turn to the business stakes: American chip export controls, Nvidia's leadership and the possibility of a future without Huang at the helm. His archived answer offers a preference for an internal successor, not a name.
Taiwanese and American engineer and business executive who co-founded Nvidia and serves as its president and CEO.
